NUMERACY IN ASSESSMENT

All students in Coláiste Abbáin should be plotting their results from class assessments in their progress charts in the back of the student diary. This will encourage students to reflect on their progress in that subject during the academic year and to identify aspects of their coursework assessment that they need to revise more thoroughly and improve before the Summer and Christmas assessment.
